| 3:1 | Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? |
| 3:2 | Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: |
| 3:3 | Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. |
| 3:4 | And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: |
| 3:5 | Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; |
| 3:6 | Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. |
| 3:7 | But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: |
| 3:8 | How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? |
| 3:9 | For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. |
| 3:10 | For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. |
| 3:11 | For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. |
| 3:12 | Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: |
| 3:13 | And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: |
| 3:14 | But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. |
| 3:14 | 但他們的心地剛硬．直到今日誦讀舊約的時候、這帕子還沒有揭去．這帕子在基督裡已經廢去了。 |
| 3:14 | 但他们的心地刚硬。直到今日诵读旧约的时候，这帕子还没有揭去。这帕子在基督里已经废去了。 |
| isa:6:9 | And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. |
| isa:6:10 | Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. |
| mak:6:52 | For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened. |
| rom:11:7 | What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. |
| rom:11:8 | (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. |
| rom:11:25 | For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. |
| 2co:4:4 | In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. |
| act:13:15 | And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on. |
| act:15:21 | For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day. |

| 3:15 | But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. |
| 3:16 | Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. |
| 3:17 | Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. |
| 3:18 | But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD. |
